Resident Evil: Village Gets Censorship in Japan, Here's Why

Resident Evil is one of the most popular zombie-themed horror games in various worlds, including in Indonesia itself.

Almost all Resident Evil series have succeeded in attracting the attention of gamers, including Resident Evil: Village. However, did you know that the game was censored when it was released in Japan.

What is the reason? Find the answer below

According to information obtained from the SegmentNext website, there are two versions of Resident Evil: Village that will be released in the Sakura country, including “CERO D” for players under 17 and “CERO Z” for players over 18 years old.

However, there are no significant differences between the two versions. Both CERO D and CERO Z versions will censor violent footage such as beheading and other violence.

Both versions of the game will also feature less blood than the Resident Evil: West Village version which has no censored content.

The only difference between the CERO D and CERO Z versions is that the CERO Z version has a “harder expression” than the previous version.

In addition, Capcom, as the developer, also revealed that Resident Evil: Village which was released in Japan would reduce certain scenes but they did not explain in more detail because it might be to avoid spoilers.

For now there is no information from Capcom whether they will bring a lot of sexual content or will reduce it. So we’ll just have to wait for further information.
